Pikachu (SSBU)/Forward aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Pikachu's forward aerial.

This article or section may require competitive expertise.
You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

Pikachu rotates his body while pointing his electrically-charged head forward, damaging opponents multiple times, dealing a maximum of 11.8% if all six hits connect. Minimal horizontal and almost inexistent vertical range, but its low ending and landing lag make it effective in combos when used properly.

Update History

9.0.0

Forward aerial's looping hits launch slightly more inward with their upper hitboxes (310°/290° → 290°/280°), causing it to connect more reliably if Pikachu is moving downward or relatively slowly, but less reliably if moving too fast upward and/or forward.
